"Did you even study for it?" Lavi asked surprised. Allen had just told him he had failed his recent history exam. Allen shook his head.

"Not at all, I completely forgot I had an exam." Lavi sighed and laughed a bit.

"Maybe you should pay more attention to your schedule. What were you doing then?" Allen blinked at his friend and thought back to the days before the test. He had been studying, none stop at that.

"I was reading and I composed a little piece." Lavi clapped.

"At least you weren't having fun with your boy toy." Allen heard a grunt from Kanda beside him. "And I want to hear that piece."

"That's fine, I'll play it for you later." The red head turned towards Kanda.

"So what were you doing while your beansprout was supposed to be studying?" Kanda shot Allen a look which shot the smaller teen's mind back in time again. In the middle of studying he realized he wasn't getting anywhere so he had asked his boyfriend to help him. Kanda had grumbled a bit but ended up doing so.

"I don't know, what am I supposed to do? Remember what I was doing every second of every day?"

"Oh Yu~ so uncaring. How jealous of the beansprout I am!~" Kanda rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure Tyki would love to hear that."

"Oh but he'll know I'm kidding~"

Allen looked at the stare down happening between his best friend and his boyfriend. He tugged on Kanda's sleeve and spoke. "Kanda, perhaps we should go." The navy haired teen looked down at him and nodded. Kanda stood up and dragged Allen away from the table they had been sitting at.

"Oh come on Yu! I meant it as a joke! It's not like you have anything to do anyway!" Lavi yelled after them. But they just kept walking. When they were almost at the exit of the library they were waved over to the checkout counter.

"Hello Lenalee," Allen greeted.

"Hey guys!"

"Che."

"So is there something you wanted Lenalee?" Allen asked.

"I was wondering how you did on that history exam?" Allen cracked a grin.

"I did great, almost a hundred percent." Lenalee leaned over the counter and took Allen's hands in hers.

"That's great! I know you were so worried about it and that you spent so much time preparing for it." Allen's grin grew wider.

"Thank you Lenalee." She nodded. Then she bit her lip.

"Would you like to go out after I'm done here? You know, as a small celebration? We could even invite Lavi."

The smile on the white haired teen's face fell. "I'm sorry, I have a lot of homework to do." Lenalee tilted her head.

"Your teacher gave you homework so soon after an exam?"

Allen nodded. "I'm afraid so, though only a tiny bit of it is history. It's mostly English and piano."

"Ahh, stupid teachers. They shouldn't give so much."

"Mhm, now we should get going."

"Yeah, I hope you get it all done." Lenalee waved to the couple as they walked out. Only Allen waved back.

Once they were out of the building Kanda roughly grabbed Allen's hand. The smaller teen was about to ask why, but a look from his elder shut him up. Kanda led Allen to the bus stop. They got there just in time to hop onto a bus.

They sat side by side in silence the whole way home. Allen stared out the window acutely aware of the tension hanging in between them. He wanted to ask Kanda what was wrong. But he just couldn't get the words past his throat.

When it was time for them to get off Kanda took Allen's hand again. He pulled his boyfriend up to the apartment building and refused to let go. Even as they went through the lobby, up the stairs, and stood outside their apartment where Kanda shoved his other hand into his pocket searching for the key.

Once they were in the apartment and Allen was sure Kanda had locked the door he tried to get away. But the navy haired teen simply tightened his grip. Allen had no idea why Kanda was holding onto him so tight.

Allen was completely startled when Kanda slammed his against the wall and kissed him straight on the lips. Allen felt Kanda's tongue press against his lips. With a shiver he let himself relax and Kanda's tongue intruded upon his mouth. It swirled around as if trying to taste every part of it. Then, as quickly as he had initiated the kiss, Kanda pulled away. Though he hovered an inch away staring deep into Allen's eyes.

"I have never understood how so many sour lies can slip through your lips and yet they still taste so sweet." Allen blinked.

"What?" Kanda's eyes grew extremely serious.

"Why do you lie so often?" Allen bit his lip and lowered his face so that his bangs shielded his eyes from Kanda's gaze.

"It is an instinct. A way of protecting myself." Allen heard Kanda sigh.

"That's not protecting yourself, that's digging your grave deeper. One day those two will find out about this habit and they'll leave you in that hole."

"Would you?"

"Maybe, if I ever catch you lying to me."

"You can tell when I'm lying?" Kanda reached forward and cupped Allen's cheek, forcing him to look up back at him.

"Of course." Allen's eyes took on a cynical look.

"How?"

"I know you too well, so it's easy to tell when you're lying. No matter how well you think you're covering it up I can always tell." Allen's face blushed a soft pink.

"Do you think Lavi and Lenalee can?"

"No, they're too dense and most of what they think they know about you is false." Allen leaned forward and put his head on Kanda's shoulder.

"Are you really okay with me lying to them?"

"I don't care, all I care about is if you lie to me." Allen whimpered a little and nodded.

"I don't think I ever will, no reason to."

"Good," Kanda growled. Allen looked up, surprised at the sudden change in the tenor of his voice. But before he could speak his lips were sealed with Kanda's.
